Short conversation between David Kessler and an interviewer about how children experience grief differently from adults. Emphasizes that children process grief according to their developmental level, may not verbalize it, and that adults should model and express their own grief in front of children to help them recognize and verbalize feelings.
How do children experience grief?
Children experience.
Grief very differently than adults.
Adults.
Talk things out. We talk about our feelings.
Children can.
Only process.
Grief at the level of.
Development that they're at.
So we have to have very different.
Expectations.
One of the things that we need to do is, is we need to.
Talk about our own grief in front of our children.
So that they begin to understand what these feelings.
Are and how to verbalize them.
And also to just know your.
Child is processing it.
Even if they're.
Not talking about it, they are processing the loss.
